Our 4th graders are well on pace so far in their study of Ancient History, finishing ¨History´s Stage¨ and moving on to the First People.
Class participation is strong and we are making sure that the students are kept ¨on their toes.¨
One key overarching theme that we discussed--one relevant for any subject, but particularly for history--is the importance of thoughtful highlighting. The purpose of highlighting--we agreed--is to isolate the most important facts and concepts for later study. As such, the importance of being selective in what we highlight was stressed.
